The Imperial Guptas

The next kingdom to be established was that of the Imperial Guptas (4th-6th century) who unified the larger part of the country and gave India its greatest period of art. The later caves at Ajanta and Ellora belong to this age. The famous Sanskrit poet and playwright, Kalidasa, lived in this era and placed his masterpiece Shakuntala, in a locale near Ajmer. A few remains of late Gupta temples are found scattered in Rajasthan, at Mandore (Jodhpur) and Jhalrapatan (Jhalawar). King Harsha (600 AD) ruled at Kanauj and his line continued down to Raja Jaichand who was finally defeated by Mohammed Ghori in 1191. His descendants rose again to power as the Rathores of Marwar (Jodhpur). After the decline of the Guptas, the north was again subjected to innumerable invasions.
